Summer Camps 2018

We are excited to introduce our summer camps at The Menomonee Club, Drucker Center. Each week's theme is anchored in the narrative of successful women across media, science and business. The themes create a framework for our unique S.T.E.A.M-based experiential projects that stimulate girls to discover new concepts, challenge their creativity and potential, strengthen the impact of their collective force and make sure they have lots of fun! While the camps are offered to girls 6-12 years of age, they will be grouped into age appropriate cohorts for the projects.

The structure of a typical camp day follows the activity pattern of our after-school curriculum with Learn, Build and Connect modules.

LEARN (9:00AM-10:30AM)

The day gets launched with a warm up exercise and a new "learning" concept. The girls are introduced to new subject matters via the achievements of women entrepreneurs, scientists, inventors or media personalities.

BUILD (10:45AM-2:00PM with a lunch break)

Following a short snack break, the girls "build" their project in keeping with the learning concept of the day, which they continue to finish post-lunch. Using critical thinking frameworks like Design Engineering, they experiment with a variety of platforms - from i-Movie to Scratch and Google Suite products.

connect(2:00pm-3:00pm)

In this last hour, girls evaluate their learning and their output. They are encouraged to provide feedback to each other and appreciate the power of their larger collective - now and into the future.

It may come as a surprise to girls that the inventor of Barbie was a woman. And so was the inventor of the first dish washer. And it was a woman who commercialized the first chocolate chip cookie. Using the backdrop of a successful woman inventor for each day, the girls will be challenged to create their own inventions, product launches and business plans using a variety of techniques, platforms and materials such as Engineering Design Process, Google Suites, arts and craft supplies etc. They will learn that girl inventors are smart, creative, fun and unstoppable!!

This week will feature additional women inventors including superstars that have redefined how we consume media, fashion and news in the current age. From the founders of Project Runway, to the CEOs of YouTube and Facebook, these dynamic women will be the backdrop to inspire our girls to push the limits of their own inventions in a week full of creativity, collaboration and discovery!
